Andreas Larsson, 2007 BEST SOMMELIER OF THE WORLD, comments Château Castera 2005.
The vineyard of Château Castera dates back to the 14th century and is one of the oldest in the Médoc. Famous historical names were owners of this vast vineyard: de Montaigne and La Boetie (reportedly buried in the vineyard). From this period, remains a splendid keep that dominates the village of Saint Germain d'Esteuil.

A solid, forward, upright version, featuring slightly cedary grip that frames the black currant, roasted fig, cocoa and dark olive notes. A twinge of roasted earth chimes in on the finish.
